Hi,
I have mild deslexia and anxiety too. Actually I was medicated for 2 years for the anxiety becuase I'd have attacks and once I had to go to the hospital cause I kept passing out.
But I went off the medication, cold turkey, because I could feel it slowing me down. I want to tell you that at first I hated getting out of bed. I feared every situation I could possible be in... then I realized that this is my life and that I was not going to fear. If I did I had nothing left. So really I just didn't have anything left to lose. The worst that could happen is that I'd fall down and I'd just have to get back up. I know you hear that all the time, but really it is your life. Well I still have episodes but I just take a deep breathe and keep going. I also started performing on stage... a big fear, but I had to prove to myself that I could do it. Now I love it.
As for Spanish... I didn't like it too much... but I got through it with a B+. Lot's of studying was required and I had to get a lot of help after class. If you know how to study and are willing to try your hardest, then I'm sure you'll do fine! Hold that chin of yours up and know that you can SO do it! You know as well as I, that dyslecia has given you many more gifts then it has taken away from you! I don't know you, but I'm sure you are an amazing person! Just remember that you are and leap... don't look... just leap.
I wish you the best of luck, even though I know you won't need it! You have this totally undercontrol, you just haven't realized it yet.
